Introduction by John Banville James Joyce was the singular figure of modernism, and to this day his grand vision looms large over contemporary literature and the entire Western canon.
Featuring a new Introduction by acclaimed novelist John Banville, this edition is not only a breathless portal into Joyce\'s -dear dirty Dublin- but a vital literary treasure from one of the great masters of all time..
From the young boy encountering death in the opening story, -The Sisters, - to the middle-aged protagonist of its haunting finale, -The Dead, - considered one of the greatest short stories of all time, Dubliners is a vivid portrait of the city in all its glory and hardship, and a seminal work that redefined the short form.
His stylistic innovations were revolutionary, yet nowhere is Joyce more accessible than in this volume of short stories, a brilliant collection that celebrates, critiques, and immortalizes the place that Joyce knew better than anyone else: Dublin.
